Arctic Lake System Dynamics

Piston Coring Tripod on Lake Bolshoe Toko

The terrestrial Arctic is a key region of ongoing climate change. The vast and diverse landscapes, especially in Siberia, offer the potential to pinpoint climatic and ecological connections between Arctic and boreal areas in the Northern Hemisphere. In order to widen our understanding of lake ecosystem response to climate change, we conduct palaeoenvironmental studies using sediments from lakes located along north-south and west-east transects.
